Medical Malpractice
What Is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice is simply professional negligence, or carelessness on the part of a doctor, nurse or hospital. It requires proof of a departure from accepted standards of medical care. It is not simply the happening of a complication. Complications can and do happen even without any medical negligence. Malpractice is injury which occurs because a health professional failed to act when the professional should have acted, or acted in a careless way. Additionally, the careless act or omission must be shown to have been the cause of an injury or worsening of the patient’s condition.
When Should I talk to a Medical Malpractice Attorney?
